Dear colleagues,
I am contacting you with regard to a new book from Greenleaf Publishing which I hope is of interest. Offering practical advice from experienced educators, Responsible Management Education and the Challenge of Poverty seeks to enable best practice in anti-poverty teaching in management education.
Mindful of the UN's first Sustainable Development Goal – "End poverty in all its forms everywhere" – there has never been a more urgent need to tackle the issue of global poverty, and the need for businesses, business schools and management programmes to address the issue is crucial. However, with so many competing priorities on courses and considerable ground to cover, it can be a challenge to devote enough time and attention to poverty issues.
This book showcases innovative teaching, module development and programme designs that integrate the issue of poverty into global business management courses. It is essential reading for faculty members, trainers and administrators who are interested in new ways to engage students with the complex relationship between poverty and business practice.
If you are interested in reviewing this book or considering it for adoption, you can request review and inspection copies via this link: http://www.greenleaf-publishing.com/productdetail.kmod?productid=4107
Do get in touch if you have any further questions, and please contact me directly with any review opportunities.
With kind regards,
